Abstract

Recently, there has been considerable concern on the atherogenic potential of Trans Fatty Acids (TFA) present in food products produced with hydrogenated vegetable and marine oils. Hydrogenated fats containing TFAs are harmful for heart. Health authorities and Food regulatory agencies across the world, including WHO and FAO, have suggested food manufacturers to lower TFA content in their food products and called for a mandatory food labeling on packs for consumer information and protection.
